Lexus teases new Mystery Concept ahead of Frankfurt

Quote:

We don't know what it is, but we kind of already want one.

We’re sorry to say this, but we have completely fallen for the trap laid by Lexus with this teaser for a new concept to be unveiled at Frankfurt. There is absolutely no information whatsoever being leaked along with the single photo, with Lexus simply saying that it will be a new concept. We can see it has the new “spindle grille” and L-shaped daytime running lights, and there seems to be a certain sportiness about it, but that’s really about it.

Having successfully gotten our attention, Lexus used the opportunity to tell us that it will also be bringing the new GS 300h, a midsized hybrid sedan which carries absolutely no mystery with it in the slightest. But despite the blandness of the GS, it seems like the Lexus booth will be humming with activity come the Frankfurt Motor Show next month. Everybody loves a good mystery, and even though we’ve essentially been told that a new LFA successor is not in the works, we’ve decided to get our hopes absurdly high in anticipation anyway.

Can't wait to see more info on this. :drool:

Well it can't be uglier than the Z40 SC430. :brokenheart:

I see it has the same stupid-ugly "corporate identity" grill :P

Lexus LF-NX Concept

-Distinctive and sculpted styling
-‘Human Oriented’ interior design with new, touch-sensitive instrumentation
-Highly efficient full hybrid powertrain

A new Lexus compact crossover concept, the LF-NX, will make its world premiere at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show (IAA). This concept explores the potential for a compact crossover within the Lexus model range.

Reinforcing Lexus’ leading position in full hybrid drive technology, the LF-NX concept is powered by a new variant of the Lexus Hybrid Drive system tuned for SUV performance.

With its highly distinctive and powerfully sculpted styling, the LF-NX concept’s exterior design reflects a further evolution of Lexus’ L-finesse design language.

The front is dominated by a strong interpretation of the Lexus spindle grille, extremely expressive signature front lighting with independent Daytime Running Lights (DRL), and unique corner styling which separates the bumper from the front wing with an aggressive vertical cut.

In profile, muscular wheel arches are trimmed with the black protective finish which typifies an urban crossover. Above the pronounced diamond shape of the belt line, a classic Lexus side glazing profile and steeply raked tailgate create the sweeping silhouette of an athletic coupe.

The rear features highly articulated lamp clusters. They are detailed to project downwards to the full depth of the bumper, creating a sharp, aerodynamic trailing edge to the vehicle which mirrors the front wing detailing.

The Lexus LF-NX concept is finished in a new Brushed Metal Silver exterior colorwhich gives the striking impression that the bodyshell has been carved from a single piece of solid metal.

The interior mirrors the LF-NX’s highly sculpted exterior with bold, powerful forms creating a driver-focused cockpit within an ergonomically ideal environment.

In a continuation of the ‘Human Oriented’ L-finesse design concept, the cabin features the ideal, upper display zone and lower operation zone dashboard format perfected over successive Lexus generations.

This allows for intuitive interaction with the vehicle’s next generation technology, which includes touch-sensitive electrostatic switches, and a new touch pad Remote Touch Interface (RTI) design.

Reinforcing the LF-NX concept’s premium crossover credentials, the strength and refinement of the interior’s carved metal surfacing is complemented throughout by Sunrise Yellow / Black leather upholstery with contrast stitching, and sophisticated blue instrument lighting.

The Lexus press conference is scheduled on September 10 at 13:00 CET on the Lexus stand, Hall 8, Frankfurt Messe.

"Character lines! Moar character lines!" - Head designer.

That thing's body looks way too busy.

Wtf is that a Rhino?

It definitely is distinctive

First cross-over design I like so far.

I flinched violently when I saw that first picture. Somewhere, there is a designer that needs to be sat in a corner.

Edit: And is that a warp core in the dash?

A design must be composed, you cant just randomly place angles and curves all over the place, looks awful.

This looks like a decent design made out of a huge piece of origami.

:word: Look at those new F-sport model front ends. Super aggressive styling for such a conservative car brand imo. I do like the change though, Lexus cars are really starting to appeal to me.
